2019 Give a Dam Fundraiser

Update: Thanks to everyone who came out! It was a great success, raising $1600 for the Libota Orphanage. See you next year!

Come work off those holiday calories and raise money for Project Congo! How many times can you go up and down the Caesar’s Creek Dam? Its 165 feet of challenging climbing that will really give your legs a work out.

Last year Aneta Zapettella did 62 repeats and Radu Diaconu did 52 repeats in 3:50 hours Can someone beat that this year????
